Who needs punkins..

...when you can have Libbi in your boxes!

JET!

Just what Libbi needed.. a puppy to pretend to be a baby!! Oooo poor dog!

This is Jet, the newest member of our family!! We've had him 3 weeks now. O boy. What was I thinking?? He is sooo cute and furry and fun but can be sooo naughty! He's a puppy, they nip, they chew etc etc. He's really pretty good other than the nipping!!

2 years ago...

Today is the 2 year mark of Libbis Glen! Weird how time flies! I can't believe its been 2 years! I'm experiencing all sorts of emotions today. Its a good day ;) I love her, she is so fun and such a light in our life. Her next appt will be on Dec 7, her Fontan will be decided then i'm guessing. She will be 3 in March, that is the age they keep telling us her time will be here for the final surgery! Can't wait til its over and we can go on living a 'normal' life!!! We live pretty normal as it is so i'm not complaining, it'll just be nice to not have to stress about the upcoming surgeries anymore!!!

Ketchup cookies and sippys

All is well with Miss Libbi. We will go to Dr Menon on Dec 7, this will put her at 'almost 3' ;) For now she is just being a typical 2 year old! Learning how to count, sass and all that fun stuff! She is so funny to be with. She said the other day when i said 'you're cute' she replied "you tute too mom" lol Love her!
I do need to know, can one survive on no sleep, ketchup, sugar and milk? That is ALL she will eat! She is horrible!! She is getting way into puzzles and games, she also loves her tv! Care Bears, Backyardigans (HaKeen, is how she says that..??) and Mickey Mouse are her favorites!
She is a big sister to her baby Drew. She likes to feed him :/ The other day he was choking on cereal, yesterday in the car she fed him chocolate! Shes a good big sis!
That is about all!
Just wanted to let you all know we are still here and things are well!!!!

Dancing in the rain!

My favorite saying is 'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain' Libbi reminded me of this the other day when it was a rain storm and she ran out on her scooter laughing and screaming! I will never forget that sound. Priceless!!

MRI/ECHO June 29

Hmmm... what is going on??

CHEESER!!

Playing in the infamous wating room :)

ALL DONE!! WOOT WOOT!! WHAT A BIG BRAVE GIRL YOU ARE!

Ok so the details of the day go like this. She is doing GREAT!! Dr Menon wants to keep waiting for surgery, saying the bigger she gets the better! I'm ok with that.
I was hoping secretly to get it done before RSV season again. My reasonings?
If she gets sick this winter, it is possible her sats will drop pretty low. This last December she was sick and hovered at about 75 which was really nerve racking. This winter she will go lower, probably resulting in something.. and i really don't want to be in the hospital during RSV.
Soooo.. with mixed emotions, we will do the same thing this winter that we've done the following 2. Stay in. Stay away from church. Be very cautious of illnesses and PRAY she doesn't get sick! (i was hoping to not have to be so strict this year, BUT we'll take it!)
It seems she will be 3, or close to, before her Fontan!
I have to note that Dr Rose (pediatrician) thinks she is the funniest, meanest, most spoiled princess around! HA! I love it! When i took Drew in, he had massive ear infections amongst other things and when i said ' i feel so bad, he didn't even act sick' he replied
"o thats right, he lives with the princess!" He doesn't get time to be sick!! Ha! Poor Drew man..
Lucky Libbi is her new nickname. She amazes us ALL every single day!! :)

MRI/ECHO June 29cont.

This must be a nervous habit, she had her finger up her nose ALL day!

Shoving her face full of crackers immediatley after waking up. Shes my kind of girl :)

Heading home!!

'All betta' is her FAVORITE saying! When she gets her bum changed, anytime anyone gets a bandaid.. really for almost anything she says 'all betta' And sooo fitting for her :)
